Report adopted
DonneIIyS bill for the correction of cleo
ton abuses, introduced yesterday, pro-
hibitS all railroad corporations from import
ing large gangs of men for voting purposes
into election districts This law so changes
the present one, which fOrbids temporary
residents from voting, that railroad con-
struction hands are designated as temporary
and cannot vote. This provision operates
in harmony with Mr. Mattson's bill, which
proposes to amend the constitution so that
instead of ten days voter must reside In
district thirty days before he can vote. Don
nelly's bill provides also that split tickets
shall have a heading, as mixed ticket" so
that voters may not be deceived. 1t says
also that cities of 10000 inhabitants and
over shall not have more than 500 voters in
an election district. For voting purposes
the city shall provide two rooms the main
one to hold the judges, and the other an
ante room, through which, before voting,
the freebooter passes alone, selecting there
from flies prepared his ticket, placing it in
an envelope and then putting-it in the ballot
box himself. This provision, Mr. Donnelly
believes, would prevent bribery and tntimi-
dation at the polls, and ensure to every man
the right to vote as he pleased
